the dimensions are 30X30X30 (internal) i think each face, externally, is 30 1/2".

Z28, I was thinking along the very same ideas for the stand and canopy, but rather than have a welded stand, I was going to have it made of wood, and have each 'face' of the stand detatchable, using door magnets to attatch...

but a metal stand.. hmm.. I have a friend who owns a metal working shop, I wonder if I could get a good deal from him on making the frame, would be a lot easier than building it myself, stronger too.
